The front wheel did snap off, but the rotor is fine, lol. Amazing how little damage there was. He's going to cut off all the bent up supports in the front and just weld tube stuff back in. He said he was lucky it didn't roll or he would've had a mess.
hmmm I could have placed money on the turbo and such being smashed in.... I thought the entire front end would have been toasted after seeing that wheel bounce around looking for it's *****

I know man, me too. That was the one thing I expected to see shattered. The turbo was still fully intake, both sides, and the cold side just looked like someone bumped it a few times with a grinder.

Jumped out and hit the cut-off switch himself. Nasty crash but at least everyone knew he was ok...

That's about the fastest I ever seen I a driver get out after a wreck
Wheels up on a 7 second car and getting out of the groove is the worse thing that can happen to ya. Besides people don't realize how slick I really is closer you get to the center of the track very slick I might add

He is lucky he walked away. 7 second power always has the chance of getting out of control.
